Baby Sleeping Bags at Hamill Baby


At Hamill Baby we offer the saftest, 100% natural fibre baby sleeping bags, and all the advice you need to make the right choice.


Why use a baby sleeping bag?
  • Helps keep baby in feet to foot position
  • Keeps baby's head uncovered
  • Eliminates need for blankets and other bedding in cot
  • Reduces risk of overheating
  • Reduces risk of baby waking up cold due to kicking off bedding



Why merino and muslin?
We have chosen merino and muslin sleeping bags as they are both natural fibres and help prevent baby overheating whilst keeping baby warm.


Merino Sleeping Bags


Merino breathes, so using merino on the inside of your Go Go BagTM, ensures moisture  is absorbed and released away from your sleeping baby.  In cooler conditions, merino will insulate.  This unique feature creates its own microclimate around the body, regulating your baby's temperature. In essence your child becomes perfectly adapted to their sleeping environment. Learn more about the unique benefits of merino.


They come with a unique travel bag and can be taken anywhere with it's unique vent function so that you can simply transfer from car seat or buggy into their cot or bed.

One sleeping bag will fit your baby or toddler for upto 2 years, making them an amazing investment.

Also available in the Merino range:-





Muslin Baby Sleeping Bags

The waffled cotton of our  Aden and Anais quilted sleeping bags provide a layer of cushiony warmth produced from only the most natural of fibers allowing babies and toddlers to feel warm and toasty without overheating.



Aden + Anais baby sleeping bags are designed to be worn over a baby’s pajamas, ensuring a safe night’s sleep by eliminating loose crib blankets, which can be dangerous. Muslin’s light, open weave allows a baby’s body temperature to regulate itself naturally helping to prevent overheating. Aden + Anais sleeping bags offer the ultimate in breathability and softness, as the more the more you wash them, the softer they get. Each sleeping bag zips from the bottom, making diaper changes easy, and a strip of muslin over the zipper by baby’s face provides extra comfort. Aden and Anais award-winning baby sleeping bags are the perfect sleepwear to follow their popular swaddling blankets.


What temperature should the nursery be at night?
The ideal temperature for a baby's room at night should be between 16o C and 20o C.
To check if baby is too hot or cold, feel their tummy or neck - hands and feet are not indicative as they feel cooler.

Why Hamill Baby?

Hamill Baby is a web based store that specialises in unique baby blankets and matching ranges of baby accessories.



The emphasis is on ultimate luxury, safety and quality.

The company’s aim is to provide parents with an alternative to “fluffy bunnies” and the pastel pink, blues and yellows for baby’s essential gear.  Instead, the goods are funky and bright, both modern and traditional, and there’s a range and colour scheme to suit every taste.

In order to provide new parents with original and exclusive baby accessories, Hamill Baby have sourced the USA, Canada and Europe's favourite baby designers and brought them back to the UK.  The ranges are favoured by celebrities such as Courteney Cox, Julia Roberts, Nicole Ritchie, Tori Spelling, Isla Fisher & Gwen Stefani.

Aden & Anais Hamill Baby stocks the complete range of Aden and Anais muslin, bamboo & organic swaddling blankets, Dream blankets, sleeping bags, towels and wascloths, Issie comfort blankets & Burpy Bibs.  This range has hit the US (and now the UK) by storm, and it’s quite usual to see a celebrity mum snapped with one of Aden & Anais’ products.  Hamill Baby first brought Aden & Anais products to our shores in 2008 - they have now become a household name amongst cool parents in the UK!
